Closed to new claimsData privacyOracle $115 Million Privacy Settlement: Payout Status
Last updated: July 21, 2026
The Oracle privacy settlement is a $115 million agreement that resolved claims that Oracle America collected the online and offline activity of hundreds of millions of people and sold or shared it through advertising products such as its ID Graph and Data Marketplace without consent. It is closed to new claims. The claim deadline was October 17, 2024, the court granted final approval on November 15, 2024, and payments are being distributed in 2026 after an appeal was resolved. There is nothing to file today.
The case, Katz-Lacabe v. Oracle America, Inc., No. 3:22-cv-04792, was decided in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg. Every valid claimant receives an equal pro-rata share of the net settlement fund — there were no separate tiers. The exact per-person amount depends on how many valid claims were filed and has not been officially published. An objector's appeal was rejected by the Ninth Circuit on February 13, 2026, clearing the way for distribution. Oracle denied the allegations, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

Frequently asked questions
When will I get my Oracle privacy settlement check?
If you filed a valid claim before the October 17, 2024 deadline, payments are being distributed in 2026. The delay was caused by an appeal, which the Ninth Circuit rejected on February 13, 2026. According to the administrator's reported schedule, payments are going out in the second half of 2026 by your chosen method — Zelle, Venmo, ACH, a virtual prepaid card, or a paper check.
How much is the Oracle privacy settlement payout?
Every valid claimant receives an equal pro-rata share of the net $115 million fund (after fees and costs). The exact per-person amount depends on how many valid claims were filed and has not been officially published, so be cautious of any site quoting a specific dollar figure as guaranteed.
How did Oracle have my personal data?
The lawsuit alleged that Oracle's advertising business built detailed profiles by combining people's online browsing with offline activity such as purchases and location, then made that data available through products like its ID Graph and Data Marketplace — often without the person's knowledge or consent. Oracle denied the allegations and did not admit wrongdoing.
Can I still file an Oracle privacy settlement claim in 2026?
No. The claim deadline was October 17, 2024 and the claim window is closed. There is no way to file a new Oracle privacy claim in 2026. Any website inviting you to sign up for an Oracle payout now is not the official settlement.
Who qualified for the Oracle privacy settlement?
U.S. residents whose personal information, or data derived from it, was collected by Oracle Advertising technologies or made available through ID Graph, Data Marketplace, or another Oracle Advertising product between August 19, 2018 and the date of final judgment. Because Oracle's advertising data reached hundreds of millions of people, the class was very large.
Is the Oracle privacy settlement legit?

Oracle America, Inc., No. 3:22-cv-04792, approved by Chief Judge Richard Seeborg in the Northern District of California on November 15, 2024 and upheld by the Ninth Circuit on February 13, 2026.
